Rocket Languages Reviews

first time using it was a lot of fun learning new words I don't know but it is amazing .

I got to the Spanish Interactive Audio Lesson 1.6 and I give up. The Rocket Record is terrible. I have a headset with a microphone (I'm not using my computer's built-in mic) and I have problems with the transcriptions about 40% of the time - and, believe it or not, it's not me. I live in Spain and I'm often told that my pronunciation is very good. Incredibly frustrating. Also, in the exercises, they'll ask you what is the Spanish for, say, "doctor" but they don't tell you if they want masculine or feminine. There are a number of spelling mistakes as well: such as when there's no accent mark where there should be an accent mark. And I love you Amy but, boy, are you annoying. The audio lessons are much too long and could easily be shortened if Amy would just get to the point. Finally, a note to Maurice: no means NO. If you ask someone if you can take her photo and she says no, drop it and move on. If you ask a woman for her phone number and she politely demurs, as Amy did, back off. You're creeping me out, man!



With regards the masc/fem notation; we have only been notating when it is the feminine version, as otherwise the amount of notations would be enormous.

TL:DR -These courses are worth bothering with and a fair deal but don't expect perfection or a miracles.

This was sold to me (by external reviews) as being better than Rosetta stone and the current market leader in comprehensive language learning for self study, and yeah it is better and may be the best all around, but its still far from perfect. There are other products that are distinctly better for certain aspects of Japanese study, but this one is a good all-rounder.

It is very much like a by the book language study course that you would get in a generic language school.
Its not ground breaking, but its very solid and should successfully teach any diligent student some extent of their target language.

Given that you get hundreds of hours of lessons that you can do at your own pace I think the price is great value but I can't quite give 5 stars because there are some flaws in the product and service.

Unlike many free apps you aren't limited to 5 or 10 mins per day which means that the system can take its time to teach you slowly and methodically, and that if you have a lot of free time (and almost everybody does at the time of writing mid-April 2020) then you can do an hour or more everyday.

Overall seems like a good program, but when using the app or browser from the phone the audio recorder doesn’t work.

Fantastic product, congratulations. I particularly enjoy the fluidity of the lessons. Conversation, additional vocabulary, then straight into practice what you just learned!

Rocket Italian is the best application for learning Italian; great dialogue and practice exercises reinforce learning in an enjoyable format

I’m just starting but so far I think is an excellent course

Quite enjoyable. I/m using this a a refresher for conversation with my employees and I appreciate the use of idioms
and understanding of meaning in the conversation lessons.
Well Done. I plan to continue with future lessons.
Thank you

Whilst I am not a beginner French student I selected that course to access gift beginner Italian for two of my seven year old grandchildren, who are proceeding with joy. The bonus for me is that I'm sailing quickly through the French course and learning a lot more than I ever did in the past. I'm grateful for Rocket's attention to detail, the beautiful pronunciation of native speakers and constant increases in vocabulary with interesting word lists which have jogged my memory from past French study. I have no complaints but only bouquets for your wonderfully entertaining and educative courses. Gracie tante/merci beaucoup!

I am half Italian and Hispanic, I was adopted from South America and I never knew my native tongue which is Spanish. People have asked me if I am Italian and I always say I'm half....when in truth I look more Italian than Hispanic, I have always loved the Italian language and always wanted to learn, I helped my mom learn when she went to Italy last year and the basic words I picked up on quick, so, I had the itch to learn. Rocket Italian is amazing and I love it !!!! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn Italian or any language. BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT EVER !!!!
